Constant marketing emails despite unsubscribing

I constantly get marketing emails from Xfinity even though I've unsubscribed from all emails almost a year ago. How do I stop the emails????

You should never 'unsubscribe' from any email by clicking the link in the email.  The entity sending the email will in fact unsubscribe you from their database, but will immediately sell your known good email address to anyone wanting to buy working (and responding) email addresses.  In many instances, they will make more by selling your email address as a known good email address than they will by whatever it is they are trying to sell you.  Simply mark the email as spam, and *NEVER* unsubscribe.  Every time you do unsubscribe, your email is getting added to more spammer databases.

@NoNoBadPuppy While that is good advice, excellent even, the OP was talking about Xfinity marketing emails.  😉

@NoNoBadPuppy​ She didnt say she hit the unsubscribe button, she said she unsubscribed from all comcast email. This is in your PREFERENCES for your COMCAST account. There is NO unsubscribe button in the emails from comcast HENCE THIS POST FROM HER.  Thank you for your very knowledgeable information but it is useless in this case.

Good afternoon,

You can manage your email preferences for Xfinity via the following link: https://pc2.mypreferences.com/ComcastPrefCenter/ManagePreferences/EmailRequest?params=ZW1haWw9JmN1c3RvbWVydHlwZT1Qcm9zcGVjdCZvcmc9ZW1haWw%3D

as a note:

As we transition to our new marketing preference center, changes may temporarily take additional time to go into effect. It may take up to 60 days to apply your individual marketing preference changes. If you’ve unsubscribed to all marketing communications, this will be applied within 24-48 hours.


If you are still receiving emails from Xfinity then it is likely that they are not emails from Xfinity and could be what are referred to as Phishing emails. They are emails likely pretending to be Xfinity in attempts to get you to click on links within the emails to provide your personal information.

@XfinityCSAEmail : I am saying that my email preferences have already all been set to no emails for half a year now. AND I STILL GET XFINITY EMAILS!! They are not phishing emails. They all lead to Xfinity and even link to the link you provided for email preferences.

I am also getting spammed with marketing emails despite all subscription preferences being set to disabled. These emails are directly from ` [Edited: "Personal Information"]nity.com` and are not phishing attempts.

And the worthless personal information filter appears to have edited my comment. What was originally posted was the official comcast marketing email source account and domain.

Hello, @user_4117b7, thank you so much for sharing those preference settings with us! We deeply appreciate it and we understand it is definitely frustrating to still receive messages after you have opted out. Since we did see that you had posted that you reached out to CSA via their email and private message and you did not receive a response. You can also try calling 1-800-934-6489 (1-800-XFINITY) and requesting to speak with CSA. They will definitely be able to take a deeper look into why you are still receiving marketing communications after the opt-out and notification settings have been adjusted.

@XfinityNicki : I tried calling that number and it's an automated system... I can't reach a representative no matter what options I choose. It all just pushes me to go to an online automated system. This is so frustrating... what kind of customer service is this?

That link is to report abuse of emails from third parties, not to opt out from emails from Comcast/Xfinity.

Try again!

I have been unsubscribed from all Xfinity mailing lists for months, yet I got at least three just today. Please respect the opt-out. I will never switch my mobile provider to Xfinity, SO STOP EMAILING ME ABOUT IT.

I'm about to just set a client-side email filter to delete any email from Xfinity and switch myself back to paper bills. I didn't provide my email address during sign up for internet just to be spammed relentlessly.
